## What is Sakina Quran?

Sakina is a free app for the Quran. No ads, no accounts, and nothing about you is tracked or collected.

Read the Quran
Read the whole Quran with clear text, translations, and word by word audio from real reciters. The app remembers the last verse you read in every surah, and keeps your most-read surahs on the home screen.

Learn to read Arabic
A free course teaches you to read Arabic from the 28 letters, one step at a time, until you can read a full surah. Then you can tap any verse to break it down word by word: what each word means, its root, and its grammar. This is how you begin to understand the Quran in its own language.

Prayer times and Qibla
See accurate prayer times for your location and the direction of the Qibla. Turn on a notification for each prayer, and choose whether it plays the athan.

Sakina is free and stays free. You can support it if you want to, but you never have to.

Thank you for using Sakina.

This update makes Sakina more beautiful and easier to read than ever and everything stays free. No ads, no accounts, nothing about you tracked.

• Every surah now opens with its name in true Quranic calligraphy, the way it appears in a printed mushaf. 
• A clearer, calmer look throughout larger, easier-to-read text in both light and dark. 
• Word by word: as the reciter reads, each word lights up in time, so you can follow along and learn. 
• A redesigned dhikr counter one clear tap circle with a gold progress ring, for istighfar and alhamdulillah. 
• Translations in 29 languages, from English and Français to اردو, বাংলা, and 中文. 
• In the word explorer, you now see each word exactly as it is recited, so what you read matches what you hear.

May Allah accept it from all of us.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-16

Thank you for using Sakina.

If you are new here: Sakina is a free app to read the Quran, learn to read Arabic from the very first letter, and know your daily prayer times. No ads, no accounts, and nothing about you is tracked.

In this update, we added a free course that teaches you to read Arabic step by step, from the 28 letters all the way to reading a full surah on your own. You can now tap any verse to see what each word means, where its root comes from, and how the grammar works. You can turn on a notification for each prayer and choose whether it plays the athan. And every surah now remembers the last verse you read, so you continue where you stopped.

Open Sakina to read the whole Quran with word by word audio from real reciters, check your prayer times and the direction of the Qibla, and learn the language of the Quran at your own pace. It is free, and it will stay free.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-23

Bismillah.

This is the biggest update Sakina has ever had.

• Read along, word by word — every word now glows in time with the recitation, so you can follow effortlessly. Available with Saad al-Ghamdi and four more beloved reciters.
• Smooth, gapless recitation, with the Bismillah opening every surah — and you can download any reciter to listen fully offline.
• A calmer, clearer page — larger, easier-to-read Arabic and translation, less clutter, and a beautiful new player.
• A more accurate Qibla and clearer prayer times.

Still completely free. Still no ads, no account, no tracking. Just you and the Quran.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-11

SAKINA v1.1 — App Store 

Sakina now works completely offline — and recites with a new voice.

NEW
• Saad al-Ghamdi joins as Sakina's main reciter — his recitation of Al-Fatihah, Yaseen, Al-Kahf, Ar-Rahman, Al-Waqi'ah, Al-Mulk and all of Juz 'Amma is built into the app and plays with no internet at all
• Download any other surah's audio for offline listening with one tap
• Light theme — a warm paper-and-ink look, in Settings → Appearance
• Prayer times now work offline, computed right on your device
• Verse search works offline across the entire Quran
• Hijri date no longer needs a connection

IMPROVED
• A more beautiful audio player with a progress ring and live reciter display
• Tap the player to jump straight to the verse being recited (fixed)
• Audio stays in sync after calls and interruptions
• Compass now tells you when it needs calibrating for an accurate Qibla
• "Rate Sakina" now opens the App Store properly

As always: free, no ads, no account.
